Bernie Sanders Advocates Population Control in ‘Poor Countries’

Progressives still view The Population Bomb as a policy manual, not a discredited screed about the end of the world.

During yesterday evening’s lengthy climate-change town hall, Democratic candidates proposed a variety of increasingly absurd policies to address environmental issues. California senator Kamala Harris, for instance, continued her theme of promising to arrogate unconstitutional power to herself as president, announcing that she would deal with supposed GOP obstruction on climate change by abolishing the filibuster.

Entirely ignored during the course of the event was the fact that all seven Democratic senators running for president have signed on as cosponsors of the Green New Deal in the Senate but, when it came to the floor this spring, refused to vote for it. So much for an “existential threat.”

The most outrageous comment came from Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), who responded to a question about population growth by expressing support for taxpayer-funded abortion in poor countries. Here’s the full exchange:.........

Pushing birth control and abortion as a means of lowering population growth, and specifically of eliminating “undesirable” populations, is not a new tactic on the part of progressives. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, for instance, was a pioneer in the eugenics movement’s effort to provide contraception to minority communities, largely to limit the continued growth of what she deemed unwanted populations. Sanger put a fine point on this in her writings: “The feebleminded are notoriously prolific in reproduction.”..........To Read More....

My Take - Why isn't he accused by the media of being a modern day Hitler?  Margaret Sanger was one of those whose thinking actually influenced Hitler's planned "control of undesirables", AKA genocide, in Germany, and in every nation they conquered.   

If a conservative or a Republican said this the media and every left wing loon would have excoriated that person.  No dual standard there!  Right? 

Let's try and get this right once and for all. 

Fascism isn't a "right" wing movement.  It's merely right of the far left within the international socialist movement.  This misunderstanding came about through Stalin who condemned anyone who opposed him in the socialist movement as "right wing".  In reality they were merely right of Stalin, which wasn’t hard to do. 

To be on the "right" for Stalin all you had to do was to be sane, have too much power, too much influence, or merely disagree with him.  Also, if a person had been around too long, potentially representing a challenge to his power, he would decide they were against "the revolution and the people", and had them executed. 

Fascism and communism are merely two sides of the same coin, socialism.  They are “the left”.  The KKK, and like minded groups are not right wing.  They are fascists, and fascists are leftists.

Get over it!
